Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was quite overpriced during this busy holiday weekend due to various events like graduations. The rooms, though lacking in space and maintenance, were in need of more electrical outlets and suffered from several issues like loose hooks and dirty vents. The layout made it inconvenient to move around, especially when sharing the room with a partner.
The hotel had some drawbacks like the cigarette smoke smell and signs of wear and tear in the rooms, but overall, the size was adequate and didn't pose any major issues. The service was exceptional with helpful and friendly staff who maintained cleanliness well. While the location presented a challenge to find initially, it was near desirable venues like the Mohegan Sun casino, which added convenience. The dining experience, although delayed by crowds, offered a decent continental breakfast.
